948i High Voltage Switching System

Unlimited Scanning Possibilities

When a single 948i High Voltage Switching System is combined with an automated hipot tester, up to 48 test points can be scanned for high voltage isolation - multiple units make the scanning possibilities virtually unlimited.

The 948i is fast and easy to use so there is no excuse for using the hit-and-miss manual probing method of high voltage testing. The 948i reduces operator exposure to high test voltages while enhancing product quality and reliability. Consistent and repeatable test results are automatically documented making it simple to prove compliance with ISO 9000 quality standards.

Set-Up is a Snap

Setting up the switching pattern for the 948i is a snap. The standard GPIB interface port allows the system controller to download, verify and activate any desired switching profile you can dream up. Or if you prefer, an optional RS232 interface is also available. And if programming code is not your ideal way of spending the day, Vitrek QuickTest graphical software can get you up and running in no time at all. For those who are looking for a stand alone system the 948i can be controlled directly by the Vitrek 944i in a PC free environment. So, no matter how you like it - Vitrek puts you in control of your automated high voltage test requirement.

A simple two channel configuration of the 948i can handle the vast majority of high voltage scanning applications. The primary consideration is the number of switching points needed to automate the task at hand. Generally, two switching points are required for each DUT test point (one for connection to the HV output and one for connection to the return). The 948i chassis is designed to hold six of the eight point high volt scanner cards. This allows up to 48 points (typically 24 on the HV bus and 24 on the return bus) to be loaded into a single unit. Of course, multiple units can be combined to increase your scanning capacity and Vitrek application engineers are always available to discuss your unique test requirement should you have any questions.

Now that there are no more excuses, isn't it about time you automated your high voltage test application?
